Curious of what folks take aways were from the drama that unfolded at OpenAI?
I think one thing for sure for me was how fast this all has evolved. It hasn’t even been 48 hours, and there are thousands of stories and every minute the story is changing.
Thoughts?
My personal fav take on the matter was by Varun Mathur from Hyperspace AI:

It’s a really good write-up, but isn’t all that a bit much when we don’t even know why the board fired Sam? They had some sort of reasoning and it could’ve been completely justified, no?
It can also be exactly what he is saying, but do we have any actual source of information that confirms that?
I think regardless of the reason for firing, the execution of the firing was the problematic portion. A company that valuable benefits to go without such a sh*t show.

it’s just got a backslash in the url
Dude is bitter and over dramatic. Sheesh. He could have been fired for any number of reasons.
yeah this espouses a very childish worldview. sam will be on the right side of history and you’ll be watching later as a nobody after your company obviously collapses. in reality we really know nothing about either side and why things turned out the way they did.
